EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph from April 17, 1912, Admiral George Dewey, General Porter, and Father Russell stand together at the dedication of the John Paul Jones Memorial in Washington, D.C. The monument, honoring the American naval hero of the Revolutionary War, was a significant addition to the nation's capital. Admiral George Dewey, dressed in full uniform, is prominently featured in the image. Dewey, a renowned naval officer, is best known for his victory in the Battle of Manila Bay during the Spanish-American War. His presence at the dedication ceremony underscores the importance of John Paul Jones' contributions to American naval history. General Porter, also in uniform, stands to the left of Dewey. Porter was a prominent American military leader and politician who served as the Adjutant General of the Army from 1906 to 1912. His presence at the event highlights the military and political significance of the monument's dedication. Father Russell, a Catholic priest, is seen at the far right of the image. His presence may indicate the importance of religious figures in the community during this time. The grandstand in the background is filled with a sea of people, including lawmakers and politicians, all gathered to pay tribute to the legendary naval hero, John Paul Jones. The photograph, taken by Harris & Ewing, is a poignant reminder of a time when the nation came together to honor its heroes and celebrate its history. The image is a valuable addition to any collection focusing on American history, military history, or political history. The photograph, with its crisp lines and intricate details, is a testament to the skill and artistry of the Harris & Ewing photographic studio.
